You couldn’t make it up

Even if you wanted too..

From the BBC,

The Labour official at the centre of an anti-Semitism row has resigned from the party's ruling committee.
Christine Shawcroft said her membership of the NEC had "become a distraction for the party and an excuse for endless intrusive media harassment of myself, my family and friends".
The row erupted after it emerged she had opposed the suspension of a council candidate accused of Holocaust denial.Ms Shawcroft will be replaced on the NEC by comedian Eddie Izzard.
How many comedians can one party have on its front bench ?

We have Jeremy who does a great stand up on how there is no racism in the party..and we all remember that great line about being the PM soon
Diane who does a great number (sorry) about finances and how many police she can buy for a few bob,
And now Eddie.. I look forward to seeing this new act even though it’s a tad early for pantomime.

Re: You couldn’t make it up

I used to really like Eddie Izzard till he got all political. What makes people think that someone who has a celebrity status has the credentials to be a politician or that their views are somehow more valid than Joe public?

I've gone right off him .

"You couldn't make it up"
Oh yes you could Rehab.
It's not true - is it? I would like it to be true.

Edited to add
Is it also true that Eddie Izzard ran 27 marathons in 27 days?

I think that might be true. Not easy in 6" heels.

Re: You couldn’t make it up

This story is so ridiculous I honestly thought you had made it up Rehab, but I heard it on the radio earlier so I apologise for not believing you.

Hold on...... What if it's a wind up on the radio too?..... Mmmmm.
